In pursuit of dreams




Not so long ago, I traversed a path pebbled though clear
and towards a distant yet distinct future I did steer.
Then the black clouds shrouded and black rain fell
blackening all perceptions of the goal I held. 
And thus were darkened all my dreams, my hopes,
as I try to sail down a pitch black tunnel devoid of any rope
that could guide me through these waves
of uncertainties and despair that shake my soul with no hermit to save
my self tormented by the wounds inflicted by my own skepticism
Just the belief of a better tomorrow helped me crawl in pursuit of my dreams.

Dilli Diary

"For all its faults we love this city." - The city of Djinns The thought of spending a couple weeks in Delhi in mid-April is something most people would dread and yet, I was brimming with excitement and anticipation. To me, it presented an opportunity to break away from the monotonic work culture of Bangalore and to reminisce about the old days with my college wing-mate in the city I  once used to call my second home. Now, while sitting in my return flight to Bangalore,  I am penning down my memoir of this trip to Delhi.  Heat, Warmth and Hotheads Summer heat was the first thing I sensed after stepping out of my flight in Delhi. This experience completely wiped out whatever tranquil effect was lingering on from the mesmerising aerial view of the city from my flight- ’ The floating island of lights in the sea of darkness' . I estimated the temperature in Delhi at the moment - validated it using the Accuweather app and registered the fact that Delhi nights wer...

The Days of Maggi and Masala

I f experiencing the unpleasant can trigger gleeful memories of past, then that spell in past must have been extraordinarily cheerful.   When I last wrote a blog, I was still in college. Writing a blog was one of the leisure I could pursue given the luxury of time. But more importantly, writing a blog was testimony of my naive belief that an idea should always be expressed and mere expression of a thought can spark a change in itself. Such were those days. Today I am writing to pay reverence to a time when to me world still appeared to be salvable (I am not certain of it being a word, but it suited my purpose the most).    "I am pissing steam" It all started with today's fucking cold weather in Bangalore. Yes, to my surprise, it does get chilly here. Though, it is not really worrisome, but it did get me thinking about the steam pissing cold ( as Tanuj would put it) we used to have in the campus. Those were the times when I used to leave a laptop under m...

Cliffs, Abyss and Myopic Economy

I have always been fascinated by catchy phrases coined by the intellects and the media. And thus, its no surprise I discovered the word  FISCAL CLIFF  very intriguing. I would rather like to reveal that these are desperate times with socializing opportunities curtailed by extreme cold, so I have resorted to, what you may call  intellectual enlightenment.  As a part of this scheme I have started reading ET ( The Economic Times ) in hope that it might help me develop a financial outlook and satisfy my urges for statistical analysis which are terribly frequent these. So, ET, in recent past, was plagued by this phrase  Fiscal Cliff , so it quite natural to develop certain amount curiosity about it for any person even if he is not as inquisitive as me. Moreover, the enigma of the phrase is overemphasized by the height of urgency exhibited by US Congress in attending to it. I admit I was mesmerized by Senate's dedication as they sacrificed their New Year Eve to com...
